Imagine the following scenario:
You have this woman friend, who after a rough divorce with infidelity and the works, is finally dating again. She goes online and finds a man on an on line dating service. They chat on line and talk on the phone and after a while they meet IRL. They really hit it off, no sex on the first date though.
Then he breaks the news: he is married and hopes she doesn't have a problem with that. Your friend is obviously devastated and wants to call the wife and tell her the whole story.
What would you do?
1. Encourage her to call and hold her hand while she did it?
2. Talk her out of calling the wife. She has wasted enough time on this two timing dog and she should get on with her life and leave him in his misery.
3. Call the wife yourself?
I'd go with option no 2. It's not my place to reveal someone infidelity. I do think however that had the wife been a friend of mine I would have reacted differently. I probably would have told her but I would have given her some hints.
On some level I think you'd sense it if your partner is cheating on you. I think that is what they call going through life with your eyes wide shut...

Oh that's a hard one. There's part of me that says 'call the wife', but I think your right when you say she might have some sense of it already. The other things is the wife may be horrible to your friend when confronted with that news.
However I think if I was in your friend's position I would call the wife and say my piece. I would be prepared for her not to be too happy with my interference, and I would be prepared for it to have no effect, but for me I would prefer to have said it and have a clear conscience above all else.
And after the phone call I would put it out of my mind and move on.
